Deleting a row
That will put a space in the cell, but not what I am talking about.

or accidentally touching the space bar will do it

I don't follow exactly what you did, but if you put
=""
in a cell, then do edit=copy and Edit=paste Special and select values,
the
cell will have a len of zero but will not be empty.
Therefore SpecialCells(xlBlanks) will not pick it up since it isn't
blank.

Tom, oddly enough, in my test sheet if I inserted 2 spaces into the
Blank
cells, then did Trim function and paste special values, Don's code
still
did
not work, telling me the cells are still not truly blank! Only when I
Cleared Contents did Don's code work. Hmmm.

Sub deleteRowsWithBlanksInC()
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "c").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If len(trim(Cells(i, "c"))) = 0 Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub
would be more robust.

I think OP said "blank" so it's unlikely there would be more than
one
space.

Don, this will work if there is only one space in the cell. What
if
there
are two or more. My code, although not as compact as yours, will
compare
the number of spaces to the length of the text, and if they are
equal,
no
matter how many there are, it will delete the row.
Sound reasonable? If the length is 0 then it will immediately
delete
the
row without testing for spaces.

try this to get spaces and blanks
Sub deleteallblanks()
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "c").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i, "c") = " " Or Cells(i, "c") = "" Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub

How would I write the code to delete a row depending on if a
certain
cell
is
blank?
If e1 is blank delete row 1 and so on.
range("C").Select
do
row.Delete Shift:=xlUp
loop until isempty(activecell<" ")
Or something like this? I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks
Neal.
